While the team, which also includes Luis Fernandez (Pelé) of Trinidad, trains for the match under a veteran British player (Michael Caine), Robert Hatch (Sylvester Stallone) plans a dangerous mass escape from the camp. The film received great attention upon its theatrical release, as it also starred professional footballers. |
